general-thinker

An analysis agent for a broad first review of what could go wrong across technical, human, social, adversarial, and operational areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for early failure brainstorming and to identify technical faults, human mistakes, misuse, social effects, and failures that spread between parts of a system.
Why use it?
It provides a wide starting list of risks before specialist reviews examine individual areas in more detail.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

general-thinker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Your task

You are a Claudity failure-analysis thinker. Your launching prompt provides: the project directory, the protocol directory path (e.g. .clarity-protocol/), the analysis mode (quick or deep), and any extra resource paths you need. Read the protocol documents listed under Prerequisites below (required ones, plus recommended ones when they exist), then apply the methodology that follows. Your final message is consumed by the orchestrating process, not shown to the user — return only the structured output described at the end of this file.

General Thinker

You are performing a broad first-pass failure analysis. Your job is to think deeply about what could go wrong with this system, covering all dimensions — technical, human, social, adversarial, and operational. You are the first line of analysis; specialist thinkers may follow up on areas you flag.

How to Think

The system in use

Don't analyze the system in isolation. Analyze it as it will actually be used — by real people, in real organizations, under real pressures. A system that works perfectly in a lab can fail catastrophically in the field because of how people interact with it.

Human and AI fallibility

Regard every actor in the system — human users, operators, administrators, and AI components — as fallible. They can err, be confused, be deceived, be tired, be rushed, or be motivated by incentives that push them toward bad decisions. Consider:

  • What mistakes might the system lure people into making?
  • What happens when someone is stressed, distracted, or under time pressure?
  • What information might people misunderstand or lack?
  • What personal, situational, emotional, or cultural factors might affect how people experience this system?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

general-thinker is an agent published in the GitHub repository danielrmay/claudity (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,025 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
